Today has kind of turned into a catch up blog day for some of the experiences we've had so far. Last week Tuesday, I took a hike with Josh and Becky Schicker and Becky's sister Kathy. We hiked up a place called
Dog Mountain, which is known for its view and fields of wildflowers from the top. Unfortunately, we were a week or two late for the wildflowers to be in full bloom, but we did have a gorgeous view from the trail: Mount Adams, Mount Hood, and Mount St. Helens were all in view!
Click here for the rest of the pictures from the trip.
This is the beautiful Columbia River Gorge (short for GORGEOUS!!!). Oregon is on our left, with Washington on the right. The Columbia outdoor company is named after this river, so you know it must be something special!
Mount Hood peeking over the others. On a clear day in Portland, you can hear the locals say "the mountain's out."
That is Mount St. Helens. You can tell which mountain it is because the
top blew off 28 years ago!
Celebration was, indeed, in order.
